Artist Residencies

UPCOMING

Jarrad Martyn | September 2 – November 27, 2019

Jarrad Martyn is a WA artist working with painting and drawing to explore the environment around him. During the residency Martyn will be producing a number of paintings and drawings which explore his observations about how we are engaging with the environment during climate change. The relationship between painting being used as a socio political device and as means for unpacking new aesthetic representations will be at the forefront of the project. Martyn will attempt to undermine his reliance on using the illusion of space in his practice and to reintroduce the role of mark making.

Chloe Bartram | September 23 – October 20, 2019

Chloe Bartram is a feminist, photographic artist and visual narrator based in Fremantle, WA. Using the conventions of social documentary and photography, she endeavours to explore the idiosyncratic nature of the human condition, create new perspectives on the Aussie outback and bring the lived experiences of women to the centre of discussion. During her Beach Street residency Chloe will be researching women’s pastimes and contributions to society from the 1830’s to the early 1900’s – with a focus on Fremantle. Using photography, Chloe will begin to respond to images and text found in archives. She is interested in the sense of self we can attach to a place and how we leave our mark.
